    I was so sorry to learn of Daisy’s death. We had a wonderful friendship, sharing exercise classes, fun times, and lots of ice cream. I will truly miss her. She cared for me when I had a health problem, and helped me with a cat when I needed some assistance. We shared a love of cats, and I was sorry I couldn’t share my latest cat adventure with her. She was always interesting, and we had many happy times together. I also enjoyed times spent with her other family members. My sincere
    sympathy to you. I have sent a contribution to Great Plains SPCA;
    seems very fitting. Love to all of you.

    I knew Daisy through water exercise class at Garden Villas. She loved her family and I enjoyed visiting with her during our classes. No matter what else our group discussed, we always ended up talking about a good recipe someone had for “you name it”, especially desserts! Daisy was a special lady and all who knew her will miss her greatly. God bless you, and may you find comfort in the memories you hold in your hearts.
